This could be about a new security feature that blocks unsafe downloads, but can interfere with downloading files. You can set dom.block_download_insecure => false in about:config to disable this feature.
I have set "false" before. I set now too "true" and there is the same problem. I switched back to "false" and firefox still download files .docs as .pdf.
